Birthday Card For Mom - Creative Monday Blog Hop

    My mother celebrated another birthday on September 1.  We tried to lift her spirit as it wasn't easy without 2 of her children, Janine and Sutcliffe. I like to make cards so I got out some cartridge paper, pictures of birds and leaves and created this card.

Bird Figurine Series - # 4

     This figurine became a part of our collection in the early years. I still remember that Easter trip that Janine and I took to the popular tourist resort of Ocho Rios. While shopping we could not resist this hen in  a basket!

Bird Figurine Series - # 3

These are toucans noted for their huge beaks!

     Janine and I got these toucan figurines from our mother.  Toucans can be found in tropical forests extending from Central America to the Amazon valley. They got their name from the word 'tucano' in the language of the Tupi Indians of Brazil.  Their huge bills are not heavy as they are filled with a honeycomb-like cellular bony tissue.  However they are strong enough to crush the fruits that they mainly feed on.

Bird Collection Rearranged - Creative Monday Blog Hop

     Over the years Janine and I always took time out to rearrange our bird figurine collection at least once a year. In recent times I have had to do this alone. Above is the empty display unit. I managed to get the glass and wood as shine as possible.

        Here the figurines are all back and I did not break any of them! Two weeks ago I started a Bird Figurine Series which is the last post every week.

Bird Figurine Series - # 2

     

   This 8 piece set is a very special one in our collection. I can remember how thrilled Janine and I were when they arrived from her pen-pal Elvia in Washington many years ago. We love glass figurines and these are in our favourite colour, blue!

The Pepper Flavour - Creative Monday Blog Hop

    
    I like pepper in my food but not very hot. Whether it is a meat dish, rice and peas, gravy etc. pepper must be there.  While my favourite is the Scotch Bonnet pepper I usually need to be careful as my mother does not like pepper.  
    Guess what?! I have found a solution with Hilo Hot Pepper Sauce! These days I use it in many dishes and even when I use several drops my mother does not find the food too hot!:) What is also wonderful is the fact that it gives the food such a great flavour.
